Go back in time in Ile aux Marins

Join this tour of the scenic 19th century fishing village of Ile aux Marins.

Your guide will provide a 20-minute overview of the history of the island and the sites to see. Then you are free to join the guide or explore independently as you take in the impressive community museums, old church, fishermen’s homes, and town hall.

The island is beautiful, with spectacular coastal vistas, colourful wildflowers, interesting architecture, and lovely European foliage. There are gentle walking paths throughout, and most sites are easily reachable on foot. The dramatic views offer amazing photo opportunities. We plan on two hours wandering through the village, and there are cafes available for a spot of tea or coffee.
